Thread: Got my first order from Colleen.

remind me to check my links before I attach them.....phytochemicals are an important part of lavender....but this particular article isn't very clear on that...

Let me find a better one and I'll post it a little later.....I am frantically taking photographs for Amir....and better get back to work...lol. Its just so hard to stay off of here!

Colleen,

This sounds like a great idea!

Also, I'd like to say that I shaved yesterday with your Desert Ironwood soap (1oz sample). Good news: it did not irritate my skin!

I was a bit quicker than normal, but still... I will shave with it again in a few days and I hope the results are going to be the same!

Cheers
Ivo

Really ??? now that is very interesting.

The Desert Ironwood has clove and cinnamon....both can be irritating to sensitive skin. But heres the twist, the Desert Ironwood is based on essential oils only.

The Oak & Moss is a combination of essential oils and "fragrance". I'm wondering if its the fragrance oils your skin is sensitive to....

I can imagine that's it. I've tried some soaps from Mammabear (and a few from you colleen...samples) and out of the 5 I've tried I can only use one and the lady that made them said that was probably because they have mostly EO's as opposed to FO's.

Tried the Highlander soap for today's shave ... I thought I liked the Oak & Moss but the Highlander just kicked it down a notch on my list of favorites. I'll give the Highlander a second try tomorrow and see if I can rate it against the Savon de Comte. Right now I think I like them both equally well but what's the fun in stopping there?

The Highlander also gave me my closest, smoothest shave yet. Maybe I'll use Highlander for Fall and Winter and Savon for the Spring. Of course, I still have to try my Orange/Patchouli and then order some Provence Lavender, French Fine to give that a shot (maybe the Desert Ironwood too).

Anyway, nice job Colleen the Highlander's GREAT!
